Ok, avoiding the Theosobabble, it is very simple. The bardo is a guide to
rebirth. Part of the bardo teaches that karma is an illusion and a trap
and gives the soul instructions on how to get around it.

Tibetan Bardo a/c to my notes comes in three stages
1st stage - consciousness leaves after first review of your life
2nd stage- complete loss of consciousness, etheric and prana disintegrate
lasting from a few hours to a few years. Entity uncontactable
3rd stage - Astral awakening - loss of all of its remembrance of life on
earth. After a certain period the entity will fall into a sleep where the
struggle begins between the Kama Rupa and Kama Manas. Causal body,
Atma-buddhi tries to absorb the spiritual part of Manas. It then dies a second
time (Lower manas disintegration - leaving only the shell) the Lower Mental
with its 1/2 principles still is conscious and is magnetically attracted to
earth while in the Astral. The Ego in Devachan cannot contact anyone as
there is no medium.
Suicides are still complete and can communicate as well as some victims of
accidents as they still have all their principles.
So what has this to do with Karma?????
